    The new updated android app has been pushed to the play store

    One thing I dislike is alerts now specify how long ago the alert occurred. Hate it! Now if I want to quickly scroll to a time, I have to do math. Eg. Want to view 3:00pm so (current time - 3:00pm = x hours/minutes, look down the list for x hours.) Rolling back as well.

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Thanks very much! You were a huge help last year and everything you helped set up and explain to me yielded a great result in function and my understanding. The core issue of poor focus never was resolved and based on other member's postings of their 49225 models captures it is evident that my...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    So my fault for not finding a box but Shipping to PA ended up running $55. (Box 15 bucks) Insured it and sent signature requested but apparently UPS won't require signatures because of covid. ( Dumb) I save my packaging for about 6 months but should start to save them for as long as the...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Yes. I emailed him once again so the email count is now 16. He instructed me to ship it to an individual in PA. Just my luck as it is now the Chinese new year so it may take a month or more to get it back. (another reason to by US) Just hope it is repaired after shipping it insured because I...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Well after numerous attempts to have Andy at Empire Tech warranty this turd, all I can say is that I have been chasing him down via email. The current count is 13 messages back and forth and almost ALL of them have been me contacting him. The last one was him stating he is trying to book a...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Your focus seems to be tack sharp compared to mine. Huge difference. It focuses very fast as mine lurks and fusses before getting anywhere usable footage. Now I really hate this thing lol. Its been a year I believe since I bought it but I will reach out to Andy and see what he can do. The true...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    So here is this morning and after making the suggested changes. Clearly, something isn't right with this camera. Setting up this preset zoomed in any further would be useless. The tripwire is to the left of the light pole. At first, it nails the focus..... then goes out and NOTHING, not even...

    I'm going to cross-thread with your comment in the other review thread. This above is me BTW LOL - I was dumb and naive once and created my login here through Facebook and now locked out of my original account due to some issue between the Facebook login and this site - hopefully it starts...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Problem is if I limit the ptz, the circle to the right is higher ground and it wouldn't track correctly. As far as locking on, if it sees the white car coming, why does it zip to the sky? I will try narrowing the field and zooming in a little and see what happens. Thanks for the input!

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    This seems to be the thread for help so maybe someone has another thing to try. Main problem is very poor focus at lower focal lengths. (Pretty much until it is around 80mm or higher.) Since the camera didn't have auto tracking, the supplier (Andy Empiretec) was kind enough to send me the...

    All day long... starting to hate this cam. No settings changed, starting to act just like the crappy 59225

    Version 5.3.3.16 inaccurate CPU usage displayed at bottom of UI.

    I may be misunderstanding what exactly the "CPU" percentage is listed on the UI. This # continuously is way below what the task manager shows on my PC. It generally shows 15% while the task manager shows around 30%. Just curious if it is just my system. I thought maybe that was just indicating...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Turning off PFA did not resolve the issue unfortunately. It actually did improve focus in general but the random way out of focus issue remains. Thinking it is just the camera's general operation. It isn't terrible but it definitely WILL broaden my search to other brands. Not to whine on a...

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    Yes, I will give it a shot. Thanks Being extremely careful not to mess with too much. Wildcat1 spent a ton of time helping me out.

    49225 XNA Good but annoying when it matters.

    When it really matters, it seems this cam loves to pick the wrong time to SUCK at focusing. Been a problem from day 1. Does well a majority of the time but this boils my blood.

    Snapshot saved to folder.

    Here is the fix!!! When specifying the folder location, the syntax for date and time have to be included so written files have different names. See the image below. I only had it as " E:\Snaps\&CAM." After adding the %H%M mumbo jumbo, files are being stored and not overwritten. Thank you...

    Snapshot saved to folder.

    Yes, Version 4. D: drive is not dedicated exclusively to BI. There is only one folder "Snaps" which I set BI to write the images to. Tried changing the Snaps folder to the E drive to see if it helped. Same deal, keeps over writing last file. I do not have the box checked to write a log file so...

    Snapshot saved to folder.

    Thanks for your help. It works however, again, once the camera is triggered, the stored (one) image is over-written and is replaced by the newest image. I never end up with more than one image.

    Snapshot saved to folder.

    I am trying to have one of my cameras save a snapshot to a folder. Basically the alert image duplicated to a separate non overwriting hard drive. I am lacking the intelligence to get this working without it saving multiple images and then erasing the image stored before the current one and...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Had the 59230, total DUD! IMO the ram was insufficient to use auto tracking. It would spin like a top and do the weird things you stated. Got the 49225XA and with a heap of help from @Wildcat1, it works very very well. Also bought the non auto tracking version from Andy and he hooked me up with...

    Review - Dahua SD49225XA-HNR 2MP 25x Starlight + IR PTZ AI Camera with Deep IVS & SMD Plus

    Just update back to the last firmware. To eliminate issues, shut uncheck "Auto Check for Updates" in your settings. (Save it when done)

    Review: Dahua SD5A425XA-HNR 4MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ

    I am the poster boy for "Underestimating" how important target tracking size is. Even by just 5% screwed things up very bad. I simply never thought to adjust that and test until it is right. I know now!

    Warning! Go pee cause I am yappin for a while lol. Didn't want to leave anyone hanging. @ljw2k @Wildcat_1 has made huge improvements on my setup and it is a work in progress. It is too early for me to write a complete summary of events as we have yet to see how some of the latest...

    SD49225XA Focus

    5 Factory Default resets and it STILL has focus issues. I am really using this post to document all of my attempts so I have a log. The supplier has reviewed the clip I sent and has sent me another firmware to try. It is all loaded in and tomorrow will be more testing. Now I don't see any auto...

    SD49225XA Focus

    Yeah my focus is nowhere close to that. Going to do 5 reset to defaults in a row later on because I was advised to try that so I will see how it goes. In the mean time the supplier has reached out and I am going to send footage if it is still crap.
